For anyone who finds most blaufrankisch on the tart side, here is an impressive example of this very distinctive grape that has more appealing balance. Some smoky oak, but well married to the aromas of summer flowers and ripe plums. Silky, yet precise on the front palate and the tannins build gently at the long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Sumptuously ripe red cherry notes on the nose come with an aura of subtle vanilla, blueberry, cinnamon and tar. The palate presents these aromas on a ripe, generous and totally smooth body that spells density, richness, concentration and generosity. This is bold and velvety, powerful but well shaped. A big wine with pure, vivid and pulsating fruit at its core. It will benefit from bottle age. Drink 2025–2040.
